12 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the at least five fins do not create bilateral symmetry of the at least five fins with respect to a longitudinal plane containing the longitudinal axis due to the spacing in the reference plane of the at least five fins.

4

4. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the central body has a first opening and a second opening, the first opening corresponding to a proximal side of the central body and the second opening corresponding to a distal side of the central body.

5

5. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein at least one of the at least five fins has an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter, the inner perimeter and the central body defining at least one window, at least one of the at least five fins having the at least one window includes one or more throughholes in a wall defined by the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter of the at least one of the at least five fins having the at least one window.

9

9. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein the second fin is aligned when implanted with the greater tuberosity at an angle ranging from 22.24 degrees up to and including 46.46 degrees from the vertical axis of the prosthesis.

10

10. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein the first fin has a length ranging from 13.95 mm up to and including 43.57 mm.

11

11. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein the plurality of fins includes at least five fins, wherein spacing of the five fins is asymmetric in the reference plane.

12

12. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein the plurality of fins includes at least six fins, wherein spacing of the six fins is asymmetric in the reference plane.

13

13. The prosthesis of claim 8, further comprising an inferior fin of the plurality of fins that aligns with an inferior position of the humerus when the prosthesis is implanted in the humerus.

14

14. The prosthesis of claim 8, further comprising an accessory fin of the plurality of fins that aligns with a posterior-inferior position of the humerus to capture posterior-inferior bone when the prosthesis is implanted in the humerus.

19

19. The prosthesis of claim 17, wherein the central body has a first opening and a second opening, the first opening corresponding to a proximal side of the central body and the second opening corresponding to a distal side of the central body.

20

20. The prosthesis of claim 17, wherein at least one of the plurality of fins is modular and removeably coupled to the central body.

23

23. The prosthesis of claim 17, wherein at least one of the plurality of fins has an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter, the inner perimeter and the central body defining at least one window, at least one of the fins having the at least one window includes one or more throughholes in a wall defined by the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter of the fin having the at least one window.
